DEATH IN The WATER.
Is THE ELgMENr WE DRINK pEoI-
MATING THE PEOPLE.
How . Universai Menace 70
Health May BE Disarmod.

A few years ago the people in .
certain section III one of the leading
cities of the state were prostrated
with malignant disease, and upon
investigation it was found that only
those who used water from famous
old well were the victims.
Professor s. A. baltimore. analyst
OF the New York State Board Of
Health, upon analyzing water from
this we'll, found it more deadly than
the city sewage
The filling up of the old we'll
stopped the ravages OF the disease.
Not long since the writer noticed
while some men were making an ex-
cavation for large building, .
stratum of dark coored earth running
from near the surface to hard pan.
There it took another course toward
we'll near at hand, The water
from this we'll had for years been
tainted with the DRAWINGS from a re-
ceiving vault, the percolations Of
which had discolored the earth!

A similar condition of things exists
In every village and city whore we'll
water is used, and though the filter
ing which the fluids receive in pass
ing through the earth may give them
a clear appearance, yet the poison
and disease remains, though the
water may look never 50 clear.
1t is still worse with the farmer,
for the drainage from the barn yard
and the slops from tho kitchen
eventually find their way into the
family well!
The same condition Of things exists
in our large cities, whose water sup
plies are rivers fed by little streams
that carry off the filth and drainage
from houses. This water" is even,
tually drunk by rich and poor alike
with great evil.
Some cautious people resort to the
filter for purifying this water, but
even the filter does not remove this
poison, for water OF the most deadly
character may pass through this
alter and become clear, yet tho
poison disguised is there.
They who use filters know that
they must be renewed at regular
! periods, for even though they do not
take out all the impurity, they soon
become foul.
Now in like manner the human
kidneys act rs a filter for the blood,
and if they are filed up with im-
purities and become foul, like the
filter, all the blood in the system
coursng through them becomes bad, =,
for it is nov conceded fact that the
kidneys are the chief means whereby
the blood is purified. These organs
are filed with thousands of hairhks
taJes which drain the impurities from
the blood, as the sewer pipes drain
impurities from our houses.
If a sewer pipe breaks under the
house, the sewage escapes into the
earth and fills the house with poison
ous gas; SO if any OF the thousand
and one little hair-like sewer tubes
of the kidneys break down, the entire
body is affected by this awful poison.
1t is a scientific fact that the kid
neys have few nerves of sensation
and, consequently, disease may exist
In these orgaps for a long time and
! not be suspected by the individual.
J 1t il impossible to filter or take the
death out OF the blood when the least
arrangement exists in these organs,
and if the blood is not filtered then
the uric acid, or kidney poison, re'
movable only hy Warmers safe cure,
accumulates in the system and at
tacks any organ, producing nine out
of ten ailments, just as sewer gas and
bad drainage produce SO many fatal
disorders.
Kidney disease may be known to
exist if there ID any marked depar-
ture from ordinary health without
apparent known cause, and it should
be understood by all that the greatest
peril exists, and Is intensified, if there
is the least neglect to treat it promptly
with that great specific, Warmers
safe cure, a remedy that has received
the highest recognition by scientific
men who have thoroughly investiga-
ted the character Of kidney derange-
ments.
They may not t,l us that the
cause of SO many diseases in this
organ is the impure water or any other
one thing. but this poisonous water
with the impurities coursng con-
staptly through these delicate organs
undoubtedly does produce much of
the decay and disease which even
tually terminate in the fatal Bright's
disease, for this disease, alike among
the drinking men, prohibitionists,
the tobacco slave, the laborer, the
merchant and the tramp, works ter
rible devastation every year
1t is well known that the liver
which is 50 easily thrown "out ol
gear" as they say, very readily dis
turbs the action OF the kidneys,
